The Warriors came out of the gate strong and grabbed an early lead of 19-9 following a pair of threes and a dunk from Marcus Bell to set the tone. Cal State Stanislaus eventually grabbed its largest lead of the night of 13 points, 24-11, with 7:50 remaining in the half. At the intermission, CSUS led 35-25 after scoring 15 points of seven Triton turnovers.

The second half proved to be a different story for the Tritons after being held to only 25 points in the opening period. Aleks Lipovic opened the half with a three to get UCSD on the board and was followed by a McCullough trey to pull the Tritons back into striking distance.

UCSD cut the deficit to a pair on two different occasions in the second half, but could never fight all the way back. Walker nailed a jumper with 12:12 remaining to make the score 45-43, but the Warriors continued to answer each Triton comeback effort.

The Tritons made one final comeback effort and pulled within four with 1:01 remaining, but once again CSUS answered with strong free-throw shooting to seal the 70-64 conference road victory.

The Warriors dominated on the boards and won the rebounding battle 39-30, including 14 offensive rebounds by CSUS. One difference in the game also proved to be Cal State Stanislaus’ 18 points off 10 Triton turnovers.

The Warriors were led by a double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds from Bell, while Sam Marcus scored a game-high 21 points.

The Tritons face No. 21 Chico State in another CCAA matchup tomorrow night at RIMAC Arena with tipoff slated for 7:30 p.m.
